Single use plastic bag ban in Malden

No more plastic please!

I agree to ban plastic bags in Malden. People most of the time is not responsible to use or dispose plastic bags properly making a major environment problem.

I strongly support a plastic bag ban to reduce plastic pollution of our city and the globe with benefits to the environment and wildlife. There are many better and nearly as convenient alternatives to single use plastic bags.

It's past time: let's get this done!

I support this petition wholeheartedly.

This is an imperative! If we cannot make small changes we will never be prepared or able to make the larger changes that need to happen to preserve our world.

let's get rid of single use plastic bans and then move on to a better garbage and recycling system!

Yes. We need to have these bags removed so that sea animals and other forms of nature not affected anymore of untimely death or injury.

I think we can do this. And we can call on community arts to do malden re-useable bags that fund local artists. If businesses charge 10 cents a paper bag and give 5 cents off for reusing a reusable bag, and charge nothing if using a Malden Arts based bag. More folks would be incentivized.

Yes! This is necessary!

Malden can and should be a leader on this issue!

Will help keep streets clean. Paper is easier to recycle.

Every time I go to Stop & Shop with my reusable tote bags to shop, I am always shocked by the number of single-use bags per person that get used. We need to stop that. If Boston can do it, so can Malden.

Ward 6 resident here, please ban single use plastic bags

For the future

We need to protect the environment for all.

I live in Ward 2 in Malden

Please ban single-use plastic bags!

Let's be change-makers, Malden. Do the right thing. Ban plastic bags. Yes, Stop&Shop too. Make it a win/win: Can the City or a corporate donor provide each household with a durable, re-usable shopping bag? On the side: Maldonians for Planet Earth ... Malden Businesses Support Re-Use and Recycle ...

We all need to do our part to save the earth and improve our environment.
